A hyper-kinetic Bale, an unlikable dysfunctional family coupled with a weak portrayal of the film's subject by Wahlberg lead to a rather unpleasant movie experience. Don't fall for the critical hype, either stay home or go watch Yogi Bear.

Have you seen interviews and the boxing style of Mickey Ward? It was an accurate portrayal. Wahlberg is a subtle actor and deserves positive recognition for his performance. "weak" is a lazy analysis from someone who doesn't understand his intricate performance.
